Resource Catalog (RC) Views • MARC • For editing use MARC, MARC text area • Dublin Core (DC) • For editing use DC, DC text area • For metadata display use, DC HTML or RDF
Favorite Features • Constant data • Use to create template of routinely added field data • Multiple record harvest • Harvests multiple links off a page at one time • Harvester • Creates a base CORC record from HTML data • Authority control • Will be useful for maintenance & possibly future linking to other sites by or about heading
Cataloger Workflow • Create constant data, if needed • Harvest the site/multiple record harvest • Harvest puts records into 28-day save file • Add holdings to records in CORC; on your command harvests ones selected • Edit the record, including any auth. control • Submit to stable data base • Export to OPAC, as necessary
RC Record Applications • Embedded metadata • DC HTML or RDF display placed at top of page HTML data for universal search retrieval • Tagged records for pathfinders • CORC records can be found tagged and imported into a pathfinder, establishing a link for URL maintenance
CORC Public View • All WCAT records with 856s are in CORC • Records containing 856s cataloged using regular OCLC are available in CORC after 24-hours • All CORC cataloged records are in WCAT immediately after submission of the record in CORC
